Most of these tracks come from the studio albums Carly Simon released in the early 1970s, which earned several Grammys: *Carly Simon* (1971), *Anticipation* (1971), and *No Secrets* (1972). Includes the songs \"You're So Vain\", \"That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be\", \"Anticipation\", \"The Love's Still Growing\", \"Our First Day Together\", a cover of a John Prine song \"Angel From Montgomery\", and the unreleased demo \"Alone\". In the booklet, a text by Ted Olson, based on new interviews with Carly Simon and Jac Holzman, and rare photos.\n\nFor this celebration of their collaboration, Jac put together a collection of tracks from Carly's first three Elektra albums that, in his opinion, best represent their collaboration and the scope of their partnership. With memories from Jac and Carly edited by Ted Olson, this \"scrapbook\" collection explores how a young ingénue and a successful label owner interacted to create sounds that defined the singer\/songwriter movement that coincided with the feminism of the early 1970s.\n\nWhen Carly Simon signed with Jac Holzman's Elektra Records, it was the beginning of a relationship built on trust and mutual admiration.\n\nCarly recounted: \"Jac paired me with the producer-engineer: Eddie Kramer, and we began exploring my songs, one of which was, 'That's The Way I Always Heard It Should Be', a song I had written earlier that year with Jake Brackman that expressed the deep inner feelings of women. By the time we were done, Jac thought connecting with women through noble lyrics and an honest identity was unusual for a first single, but a worthwhile risk. So different! — but that very successful gamble launched a career that had its ups and downs, but all its highs occurred while working with Jac during the first three of my years at Elektra. There was never more care given to me. Never more respect, and I can surely say I would never have become a performer without that first call from Jac after he listened to my first little demo tape with a self-written song.\"","brand":"Carly Simon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57535555207512,"sku":null,"price":20230915.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/carly-simon_these-are-the-good-old-days-the-carly-simon-jac-holzman-story_2023_war","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
